When ʼôwdôwth is spoken over you

Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what ʼôwdôwth means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.

Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Exodus 18:8 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
